“…It can be obtained from renewable sources by acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation. 7,8 The traditional ABE fermentation gives low yield which is due to an inhibitory effect of the produced butanol on the growth of the organism. Recently, many molecular and fermentation techniques have been used to increase the production of butanol.…”

“…The studies on butanol production employing a SSFR process improved the yield of ABE production from lignocellulosic materials (Qureshi et al 2013). SSFR process of wheat straw pretreated with dilute sulfuric acid (at 121°C for 1 h) with C. beijerinckii P260 (35°C, pH 6.5) resulted in the production of 21.4 g/L ABE with productivity and yield of 0.31 g/L/h and 0.41, respectively (Qureshi et al 2008c).…”

“…However, this is not the only effect of pretreatment on ABE production process. ABE fermentation is highly sensitive to some chemicals in the hydrolysate that may act either as an inhibitor or a stimulator of the fermentation (Qureshi et al 2013). Therefore, the pretreatment also manipulate ABE production by affecting the composition of the hydrolysate.…”

The perceived inability to economically provide conventional petroleum to meet the growing energy demands is facing a diverse and broad set of challenges. The major technical and commercial drawbacks of the existing biofuels (bioethanol or biodiesel) have prompted the continuing development of more advanced biofuels such as biobutanol. Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation is an old process which recently attracted new interests for the production of butanol as an advanced biofuel. Efficient use of low cost lignocellulosic wastes as a carbon source for ABE fermentation can be a proper approach for the economical production of biobutanol. This chapter focuses on the utilization of lignocellulosic materials in ABE fermentation process. It explains the ABE fermentation process especially the processes that were economically used in the Soviet Union, China, and South Africa in the twentieth century. It also summarizes different technologies that have been suggested for the utilization of lignocelluloses for biobutanol production.

Yellow Top (Physaria fendleri) is a plant that belongs to the mustard family. This plant is used to produce seeds that are rich in hydroxy oil. After extraction of oil, the presscake is land filled. The seedcake is rich in polymeric sugars and can be used for various bioconversions. For the present case, the seedcake or presscake was hydrolyzed with dilute (0.50% [v/v]) H 2 SO 4 and enzymes to release sugars including glucose, xylose, galactose, arabinose, and mannose. Then, the hydrolyzate was used to produce acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE). Using 100 gL −1 presscake (prior to pretreatment), 19.22 gL −1 of ABE was successfully produced of which butanol was the major product. In this process, an ABE productivity of 0.48 gL −1 h −1 was obtained. These results are superior to glucose fermentation to produce ABE in which an ABE productivity of 0.42 gL −1 h −1 was obtained. Use of Yellow Top to produce butanol has the following advantages: (i) it is an economic feedstock and is expected to produce butanol economically; (ii) it avoids pollution concerns when not land filled; and (iii) rate of ABE production is not inhibited when fermented this substrate. It is suggested that the potential of this feedstock be further explored by optimizing process parameters for this valuable fermentation.
